Except that is not always true. I state again, I had a character I played all through Vanilla. Cleared all raids up to a few bosses in Naxx 40. Then I quit due to job ours and family stresses. I came back a few months after TBC was released when things cleared up and got better but I had deleted all my toons as a precaution to not come back and mess things up during that time. When TG was announced for WotLK I was talking to guildies about wishing I had my old warrior back so I could take advantage of TG instead of leveling up one from scratch. They told me to petition a GM. Long story short I got him back after they implemented achievements.

My warrior had no achievements even though he had a fairly high PvP rank, all the raids except for Naxx cleared, no PvP titles. I petitioned a GM again and was told to send an email. I sent an email with screen shots of our guild killing all the bosses with me clearly in the pictures and to this day I still have none of the FoS or achievements. So it is not all clear and dry like that.

Oldest guy I have left on my account, don't ask me why I deleted stuff when I was younger, I was stupid.

As for other stuff, only a few things like ash,asteish, the old epic mounts (tauren is only one i can think of), FoS PvP titles, think that is about it anymore.

Although it's useful, this will not work in the case of server transfers and name changes. A few friends and I transferred to another server during BC, so it shows us just popping in at max level. If I directed someone to the server I was originally on, they'd have to use an entirely different name since the one I was using had already been taken.

Atiesh, T3, T0.5, Corrupted Ashbringer etc, can ALL be collected in TBC, in fact, it was much easier to do so in TBC, you have the entire TBC expansion to get those items.

As for the Dark Portal events before TBC release, I didn't have a chance to log on because I was too busy with my school schedule, does that make me not a vanilla player?

The easiest way to prove that you are a vanilla player is simply check your FoS in you ach tab, anyone played in vanilla WILL have played some battlegrounds and earned themselves at least the lowest title.

High Warlord title are exclusive to people who grind it in groups with endless hours a day, 7 days a week, which I don't, so I end up with Champion and I'm content with it.

Also, I have a nifty screenshot of my guild at the time killing Ragnaros (this was before BWL's release)

You see that? About a fourth of my guild died on this fight, not including Battle Rez's and it doesn't show the countless amounts of attempts we had to pull. Why is this game so easy now???!

Judging from your keybinds all the way to 0(might be even - and =) with auto-attack as 1(seriously if you leveled to 60 and raid with auto attack as 1, you are possibly one of the worst players ever existed), you must be a burden to this kill, luckily MC was easy because MC only needed 25~ capable people to do the job of 40.

Did he raid as balance... or did he have 1-4 as damage spells as resto

Welcome to classic warcraft. I can tell you didn't play just by the awe shown here, lol.

judging from your idiotic bashing of this poor guy you must be one of thosewho has not played vanilla, because we were all pretty much noobs back then.

proving that i played since vanilla? i could post a screenshot of when my subscription has started... easy.

Just been trying to think about what items/gear/anything else you could have that could prove you were a vanilla player

I've been wracking(sp?) my brain to try and think of things that were only around in vanilla that weren't available once other expansions came along....Achieve's didn't come in until BC...Scarab Lord could be gotten in BC...Naxx gear...not to mention the BMAH

Only things that jumped out were the pre-BC event gear and the original epic mounts....(and that one legendary that accidentally dropped in MC)....What other things could you have which could be from vanilla WoW and only from vanilla WoW?

Oh... I never heard them called that, especially considering they weren't drake models, they were dragon models. I always heard them referred to as the "Dragons of Nightmare," but maybe my server wasn't up on popular slang?
